RJ has officially graduated preschool. I did really well and didn't even cry til I was at the studio looking at his pictures.....

I can't believe how big he is...I'm proud and sad all at the same time.

I am proud that he's such a strong young man, and a joy to be around. I'm proud at how well I know he'll do in school next year. I'm proud of all the things he will acomplish.

I'm sad that he's not my baby anymore. I'm sad that he'll soon stop wanting me to tuck him into bed, and lay down with him. I'm said that along with growing up comes independence from me. I'm sad that the last 5 1/2 years have gone so fast.

He had a fantastic graduation with MeeMee, Pawpaw, Aunt B, Hannah, Eli, and Grandma, and Grandpa all attending.

RJ was the flag holder, and also recited Three Blind Mice. He got all kinds of cool gifts and then best of all, he also got his diploma.

Rick's pride and joy which, unless you went to highschool with Rick, you've probably never seen because he can't drive it when it's too cold, or too hot, or if there are too many bugs, or if it's too humid, or if there's rain in the forecast, or if the wind might come from the NE at 6 mph, etc, etc. :) you get the idea. The weather has to be perfect.

Rick loves that car more than anything. There is actually a not so funny story about it breaking down years and years ago when we were dating, and I had to push it while he steered because he didn't trust me to steer. Ask me about it sometime. I was 15, he was 19.

You can imagine my surprise on Saturday, when he broke the Fairlane out and we were able to spend 2 days cruising around before it got put back away.

The kids love riding in it.

We were also able to get some kite flying in this weekend.

All in All, a VERY good weekend to start a VERY hectic week coming up.
